As far as I'm concerned, I did answer your question. When Jesus speaks of the "sign of Jonah" and "three days and three nights," he is talking about two different things. It may appear as if Jesus means "three days and three nights" when he mentions "sign of Jonah" because that is part of the...

I thought I did answer your question. Recall in my post on your question that I said that the story of Jonah is more than just a guy being trapped inside a fish because he ran away from God. Perhaps I should add that likewise the story of Jesus is about more than him being dead between Friday...

I think it is more likely to be debt than punishment. God rescued the Jews from slavery in Egypt. In the ancient world, when someone saved your life or rescued you from an oppressor, you owed them your life back. The fate of the Jewish people would be different if God had not intervened. It's...

Perhaps Emmanuel Goldstein will save us?

At least we still have Google. I can't imagine what will happen when that goes down. Something tells me Yahoo and Bing aren't that good. It won't be the end of the world, but it will be the end of the world I know. Losing the world I know will force me to discover a world I don't know, and...

I think the verse before that is a clue. He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Matthew 12:39 Indeed Jesus does say that the Son of Man will be in the earth for "three days and three...

Is there a way to download Wikipedia onto my computer so that if this happens again, I won't be dying of information starvation?

Isn't that more true of say ...... Menachem Schneerson? Not truly dead, just alive somewhere out of sight. If Jesus didn't die, there'd be no resurrection. The difference between Jesus and Menachem Schneerson is that, from what I've heard, Schneerson was never buried, placed in a tomb or...

Misrepresentation of Jesus and his religion is one of the most tragic things that has happened with Christianity: for us to not understand what Christianity is really about and what really happened 2,000 years ago. There are so many details that are missing from the NT that it makes me cringe...

Americans ........ they're the loudest people on earth.

I've have seen people use the argument that the pluralistic reference to God in Genesis implies that God might be "triune" (to which the argument is usually that the reference is an honorific title for God -- the royal We). But Genesis 1:26 isn't my idea of a pluralistic reference. Actually, if...

I have a feeling ...... that you two have been at this for so long that I wonder who it is that is actually on the high horse?:eek: You're either both on the high horse or you're talking to someone you think is on the high horse. (The other guy is the one on the high horse.) Obviously neither...

Nothing is too great or small for God. God is happy to help.

Can people be open source too? If you wanted a girlfriend it would be a lot easier if she was open source. It's such a nuisance when they're proprietary. All these intellectual property laws make it hard to become intimate with someone with a university degree. Open source house, open...

Consider the ending of the Battlestar Galactica series. We are descendants of two different species: (1) naturally-evolved species that developed entirely on this planet and (2) genetically-compatible human-like species either from outer space or from another plane of existence (as suggested...

New Year's Resolution: don't make a new year's resolution ever again

Don McLean's Starry, Starry Night

Awwwww........ Big Hugs would be curious to know what that bear looked like what's the moral of the story? Never too old to adore teddy bears?
